The Canadian Empire Party Official Platform (June-July)
hawkerhunter07
It is now time for the Canadian Empire Party (CEP) to present to eCanada its platform for June-July.
Now you will ask us why we are that late, that it should have been posted a week ago. Well there is a simple explanation.
The Canadian Empire Party has done something maybe none of the other parties in eCanada have done before. The Canadian Empire Party has given voice to its members. It has given them the opportunity to show what they want, and they have traced the road the CEP will follow this month.
In fact, we have created a section in our Party forums for the Platform Discussion, and a thread for each topic, and all the Canadian Empire Party members were invited to tell us what they think about each issue.
I will now present you the Canadian Empire Party's platform, written not just by me, or the CEP Council, but by all the Canadian Empire Party members.

CA😨
CAD is the official Canadian Currency, the Canadian Dollar.
Section II: The CEP Platform
Part I: The Economy:
1.1 The CEP supports printing more CAD. We need to print more money. Our dollars value is much too high, we need to print a lot of money, and regularly, in order to keep the value down, allowing us to prevent foreign economic takeover, and also putting us in a position to become a greater exporting power.
1.1.1 CEP plans to drop our currency down to ~40CAD=1g, and this needs to be done very slowly and would likely take 2-4 months to see a stable dollar at that range as it would create a more hybrid (import/export) economy.
1.2 CEP doesn't see the need for major changes in the current tax scheme, apart from modifying the import on Grain and Food.
1.2.1 As the value of CAD changes we will have to be proactive in adjusting the Import taxes to sustain Canadian business, to do this effectively we would need a lot of Deputy finance ministers to keep up with other large economies and keep the Ministry of Finance (MoF) sane.
1.3 The CEP will propose trade embargoes with PEACE countries if needed, in case they are threatening the eCanadian economy.
1.4. The CEP will ask the great Canadian Entrepreneurs and Business Owners about their opinion on any Economic move we make, and this to avoid strikes, complaints, etc... and to assure the people are satisfied.
Part II: Foreign Affairs:
2.1 The CEP Government will continue working on establishing the New Alliance (Fortis). The current CEP Party President (Marcchelala) has been working on this issue with MoFAs of USA, Ireland, UK and Spain, and we will continue the negotiations until Fortis is officially founded.
2.1.1 The CEP Government will be dedicated to maintaining eCanada's position within Fortis
2.1.2 The Position of the CEP Government on PEACE is to Deny any proposal to Join.
2.2 The CEP will work on strengthening our relations with our Allies, and create ties with new nations. CEP will try to keep strong relations with the former ATLANTIS allies.
2.2.1 The CEP would like to see more Canadian ambassadors in foreign countries, to stay in contact with these countries, and discuss with them.
2.3 The CEP supports to motion to declare peace with France.
2.4 The CEP Government will support any Anti-Takeover motion in a Neutral Country asking for help, or an Ally.
2.4.1 The CEP Government will not support any Takeover motion, on any neutral country.
2.3 The CEP Government will accept MPP proposals with a Neutral country, reguardless if an attack seems imminanant or not, unless this MPP doesn't benefit eCanada.
2.3.1 The CEP supports having a great number of MPPs, to be protected in case of a PEACE invasion.
2.4 The CEP supports the creation of an Alliance Intel Sharing program in the future alliance, to grant CSIS access to foreign Intel, and guarantee a higher readiness level regarding to PTOs, TOs and Invasions.
Part III: The Military:
3.1 The CEP supports the continuance of the Irish Training war, as this allows the eCanadian citizens to rank up, while staying at home.
3.2. The Canadian Empire Party supports to continue stockpiling products for the rainy days, in case of an invasion.
3.3 The CEP supports to keep a strict watch on the Canadian Armed Forces soldiers, to make sure they are active and fulfilling their duties.
3.3.1 Inactive soldiers will be relieved from duty, to give the chance to other eCanadians to join the CAF.
3.4 The CEP supports the foundation of a CAF Elite Squad for top priority issues and missions.
Part IV: Healthcare
4.1 The CEP supports the expansion of the Canadian Health Service, and the revision of its budget, the cost of the gifts, etc...
4.1.1 The CEP also supports the creating of a house loaning program within the CHS.
4.2 The CEP will work on getting more Q5 Hospitals in the eCanadian regions, to grant all the eCanadian citizens the highest level of healthcare.
4.2.1 The CEP gives priority to getting a Q5 Hospital in eCanada's second most populated region: Quebec. CEP will of course support acquiring other Q5 Hospitals to other regions.
Part V: Immigration:
5.1 The CEP will try to get new citizens more involved in eRepublik, by creating tutorials, or FAQs, or step by step guides.
5.1.2 If needed, the new citizens message will be changed, depending on the demographic changes.
5.2 The CEP supports the re-opening of the Canadian University of eRepublik. The CEP thanks Clancy Forrest, Jt Vanguard and Halve for working on this issue, and gives them full support, to see the Canadian university of eRepublik opening its doors in the near future.
Part VI: The Supreme Court:
6.1 Currently the Supreme Court has no real purpose or defined role and whenever a case is brought before the Court it is thrown out before a trial has begun or the trial ends with a mistrial. The CEP will take steps to fix this.
6.1.1 The Supreme Court is being paralyzed because of the absence of a Criminal Code. The CEP will work on continuing the Criminal Code project started by Dominik, and hopes to have it ratified by the end of next month.
Part VII: Other:
7.1 The CEP sees that the eCanadian Constitution needs several changes and amendments. The CEP will work on amending the Constitution, or creating a new one if necessary, to fix the problems and deficiencies of the current one.
7.2 The CEP will also support ratifying acts to improve the Government Accountability, and the security. For example, the cabinet access list will be restricted to a smaller number of hands.
7.3 The Minister of Communication will be charged of releasing weekly updates on the Ministerial works. Each minister will have to present frequent updates on what he is doing, and how.
7.4 The CEP will work on promoting the french language in eCanada, and make all the official acts and statements available in both languages. In fact, the CEP Party President (Marcchelala) has very recently been chosen by the eRepublik Admin team to lead the team that will work on translating eRepublik to French.
Section III: Ratification:
This platform has been approved and ratified by the CEP Party President Marcchelala, the Vice-President Jbdivinus, the CEP Council and all the CEP Members.
To conclude, the CEP will work on making eCanada a better place, and place where all the eCanadians have a say. It will help make Canada more secure, more stable, and with a great influence in the New World. A vote for the CEP is a vote for the future. A vote for CEP, is a vote for Canada.
Vote CEP, eCanada's Future, Today!
Thank you,
marcchelala

To be honest, the constitution needs a rewrite 😛
And is that logo a giant teddy bear around a lion?! xD
Ummmmm,
I agree with every single thing in this document. I can't actually find anything I disagree with.
Huh.
Great job Marc 🙂
Vote CEP!!!
Vote CEP!
"I will now present you the Canadian Empire Party's platform, written not just by me, or the CEP Council, but by all the Canadian Empire Party members."
copied from the DAL much?
1) I am glad this isn't a mud slinging article HOWEVER, I must point out two things.
2) You want more loan programs and housing loan programs.
3) 75% of the money owed to Canada right now in Canada's loan and former housing loan program is owed by CEP members (specifically ones who were in government)
4) I would deeply appreciate it if the PP of CEP would work on getting this money back to Canada as Canada's is working on it's gold reserve.
Also, VAT taxes are killing manufacturing companies.
You can raise the income tax to 15% for all I care but the VAT needs to be reduce to 1%.
It is not a significant source of income and it only harms Canadian businesses.
I would support CEP if it decides to stop being a 100% military party/government and actually FIX the economy for businesses by changing taxes upwards in Import and Income and downwards in VAT. Instead of vice versa like CEP has done in Bruck's administrations.
Businesses run the economy NOT military/wars.
Scorpius, it's not copied from DAL! It was my initiative!
And then Dean22, we are not a 100% Military party. As you can see, Economy is Part 1 in this platform, FA is Part 2, and military is only Part 3.
We are trying as much as possible to fix the economy, but we are not all experts in that. This is why (I forgot to add that), the CEP will ask the Great Canadian Entrepreneurs and Business Owners about their opinion on any Economic move we make, and this to avoid strikes, complaints, etc....
And wow, the Prime Minister agrees with the CEP Platform.
The Canadian Empire Party is now officially supported by the Prime Minister of eCanada Jacobi!!
Vote for the party supported by the President! Vote for the CEP! 😛
to quote from the DAL platform...
"This platform is unique in that it was written by the members of the DAL, and not just by the leaders at the top."
sounds similar 😛
anyway im not pissed and wont accuse you of plagiarism of ideas but im glad we lead by example 😃
Well, no I didn't take it from the DAL platform, since I didn't read it 😛 No offense, but that is so I am not influenced by other parties while writing a platform. I now read it.
Vote CEP!
A vote for the CEP is a vote for the Future! a Vote for Canada!

This is Dean22's proof that CEP is COBRA and COBRA is CEP do you agree? I sure don't
GOOOO CEP
Marcchelala said "Well, no I didn't take it from the DAL platform, since I didn't read it 😛 No offense, but that is so I am not influenced by other parties while writing a platform."
An extraordinary statement if true. It justs shows the arrogance of the CEP when they dont consider the views and ideas of others. No one would expect you to necessarily agree, but to not even look or care only shows out of touch the CEP has become. As well, there is lots to critize, but in particular is the absence of any mention of how to make our country and government more inclusive, especially new players. But i guess its there fault for not playing this game longer.
@KMJ How can you say inclusiveness is a good thing. Look at where it got the current Administration! It seems neccessary to me that people need to show their loyalty before they are thrust into positions of power in eCanada. That is why I am supporting these "Employee of [Ministry]" Positions, it finally is a starting point for a truely metorious civil service. Where the Minister will be political friend, but the deputy will be the one with the power and who has the knowledge.
Vote CEP!
koolmanjack, I read the DAL platform, after I put up the CEP one. So you won't start saying, hey it's copied from the DAL, or I don't know what.
Quote the whole comment next time. You didn't quote the last sentence: "I now read it"
I'll resist the urge to Spam the comments with the CSD platform 😛
(but it's up so look for it! lol) Looks like a nice platform though, good job CEP *gives Marchella the thumbs up* 😃
Sorry for the spam. An article about the new achievemnts (Ambassador Medal). Please read, comment and vote for international!!

CEP isn't the first one to make a Platform Discussion section actually. Sorry Marcc.
Vote CEP!
Must say it almost looks like a giant grouping of all other parties platforms? Most these points seem to have ALMOST be striped and re-writen and pluged back into place. That would explain what took so long..
Vote Honest! Vote Truth! Vote Cypher Rahl!
Yukon 4 DAL
Nothing has been taken from the other parties' platforms. The CEP platform is made by the CEP.
If it looks similar in any way that would just go to show how very similar our idea's truely are.....
We'd just crack our CEP whip and get it done faster than most! 🙂
I like the less socialist approach of the CEP here. Since elections occur every month, what we need is to choose people that are willing to take charge and take decisions for the people, all the while consulting with business owners, the military and organizational infrastructure. This looks good. If Marcchelata doesn't cut it, another person that can achieve more better can be chosen next month. As it should be. And yes, the economy is supported by the business owners from ground up, so please have your best minds look into ways to strengthen this.
Well written, marcchelala.
I can't say I agree with all of it, although it does have some major points that align with the DAL party's platform, and those I am all for.
Of course, if one doesn't completely agree with this platform; and wanted to support the finer points here, and the right moves where they might feel this platform is a little lacking, I recommend that they vote DAL. But you knew that. Any way, good job.
